Default evo

What do evo's run I dont know if they come stock with an intercooler but this one had one.

Had a run in with one on the highway from 80 I got dominated by 110 my front was at his rear bumper. From 40 I was able to pull on him Couldnt really tell if he was trying my exhaust is so loud my ears still ringing. I could hear the waste gate when he shifted. looked stock tailpipe and all.
I figure they run high 13's when stock.

We were in alot of traffic, wouldnt let me get even with him. Im sure he kept looking back even at 120 thinking wtf is this ext cab loud *** z71 still doing on my ***. Id like to race one from a stand still in 4wd I think it would be a good race until he builds boost.

They run 13.4's with a good driver. Launching is really a toss up with the Evo/STI drivers, some will drop the hammer but most will baby it out of the hole. If they really launch it they'll rip off some 1.7 60ft's fairly easy.

some have ran 13.2x's stock. most of them swear by revvign to 5-6k and dropping the clutch. they say if u baby it out...you'll go thru the clutch in 5-10k miles. if u dont rev to 5.5k+ though u will bog on the launch.

they aren't that great top end wise...a honda with a turbokit that runs mid 14's can hang with them from a 60+mph roll.

an evo is my dream car....once i get a career related job after college(electrician) im buying one.

Really depends on the driver, like pretty much any vehicle.

Yep, mid to low 13's with the right driver AND aftermarket clutch. The clutch was purposely under engineered to prevent drivetrain damage. Exedy disc and pressure plate and a little tuning puts close to 300hp to the wheels.
Co-worker had one for awhile, quite an impressive vehicle for a 4 banger and AWD. BTW, he got rid of it after the local stealership started casing/lurking at the track. Instant void of factory warranty once the tires hit the staging lane!

You serious? They went to the track to case the joint? That seems a little over the top!
